One of the most nostalgic music brands for millennials, MTV, is shutting down several of its music channels across the world.
Channels like MTV 80s, MTV 90s, MTV Music, Club MTV, and MTV Live will go off air by December 31, 2025. The main MTV channel will continue, but it will no longer focus on music content.
This move follows the earlier shutdown of MTV Beats in India. The network’s decision reflects a major shift in how people consume music today.
MTV has seen a steady decline in viewership for music videos, as platforms like YouTube and Spotify dominate global music streaming. Many long-time fans took to social media, calling the channel a major part of their growing-up years.
The closure of MTV’s music channels marks the end of an era showing how digital streaming has replaced traditional TV as the preferred way to discover and enjoy music.
